However, climate scientists discovered the island as they were studying the [[ice shelf]]'s retreat due to deep circumpolar water erosion. The occurrence of open water around the feature, clearly shown in USGS aerial photographs and satellite images of the 1966-2000 period, has drawn attention due to the island's position behind the fast ice of Ferrero Bay.<br /> <br /> ==Name==<br /> Molar Island was named descriptively in 2009 by the United States Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names because the shape of the island is reminiscent of a molar tooth.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Islands]]</div>
